You're making the parents sound like the victims here. I have a hard time buying that's the case.

Technically Hanekawa is only copying what her parents are doing; pretending that the two adults are married. Pretend that everything is fine, despite the domestic violence. Always, pretending that things are fine.
It's not that her parents don't love her; it's that her parents don't even love each other. So it is not that they loath Hanekawa specifically, but that
all three can't stand each other.
You would need novel spoilers to know more, of course.
In general I see Hanekawa as simply a hard working child who got pulled through so much shit and no love, that she is one step away from going postal. And the cat simply decided to go postal in her stead.
As some had said in the past, Hanekawa isn't at FAULT that she turned out the way she is. But that doesn't change that fact that we have someone very much needing serious psychological help. There is so much more I want to say about Hanekawa's situation that made her hide so much, but it is all future stuff.
